San Jos?? State has recently launched a new faculty/university expert database, Experts.sjsu.edu, which enables campus and external users to connect with the university's rich pool of academic talent and professional expertise, announced Provost Carmen Sigler. Over the past year, the SJSU Foundation and a team of faculty, staff and administrators worked together to create this new Web-based resource. "The new Web site was designed to be a user-friendly, easily accessible way to connect mutual interests and resources on our campus and into the broader campus community, such as news media inquiries, companies seeking consulting assistance, research collaborations and partnerships, and for prospective students, just to name a few," says Sigler. For more information or to establish or edit your Experts.sjsu.edu profile, login via my.sjsu.edu and click on the link to University Experts.
